The chemical transformation of the trihydrate hafnium tetrafluoride crystal has been studied with varying temperature using the time-differential perturbed angular correlation technique. The 133 - 482 keV γ -γ cascade of 181Ta after the β −-decay of 181Hf has been selected and a four detector BaF2-BaF2 coincidence set up has been used for measurements. The crystal was produced by evaporating a solution of HfF62−complex in HF at room temperature. Contrary to the earlier report, it has been found that the trihydrate hafnium tetrafluoride compound dehydrates directly to HfF4 without producing any intermediate monohydrate and present results do not support the earlier idea that two water molecules of HfF4·3H2O are loosely bound. Present investigations exhibit a superheated state for the hafnium tetrafluoride crystal. In dehydrated HfF4, two different Hf sites have been observed which suggests two different structures for the anhydrous HfF4.

Measurements were made of jump frequencies of 111In/Cd tracer atoms on the Sn-sublattice in rare-earth tri-stannides having the L12 crystal structure via perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy (PAC). Phases studied were Sn3R (R= La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Gd). Earlier measurements on isostructural rare-earth tri-indides showed that the dominant diffusion mechanism changed along that series [4]. The dominant mechanism was determined by comparing jump frequencies measured at opposing phase boundary compositions (that is, more In-rich and more In-poor). Jump frequencies were observed to be greater at the In-rich boundary composition in light lanthanide indides and greater at the In-poor boundary composition in heavy-lanthanide indides. These observations were attributed to predominance of diffusion via rare-earth vacancies in the former case and indium vacancies in the latter. Contrary to results for the indides, jump frequencies found in the present work are greater for the Sn-poor boundary compositions of the stannides, signaling that diffusive jumps are controlled by Sn-vacancies. Possible origins of these differences in diffusion mechanisms are discussed.

The quadrupole hyperfine interactions of 111Cd/111 In probe nuclei in single-crystalline SrTiO3 perovskite samples were investigated using Perturbed Angular Correlation spectroscopy. Three electric field gradients were detected and their fractions and hyperfine parameters were measured in the temperature range from 26 to 700 K. The fraction f0 having a vanishing quadrupole frequency, as expected for 111Cd on substitutional sites in a cubic lattice, starts to develop around 300 K and reaches 100% at 700 K. Two well-defined EFG's having closely lying quadrupole frequencies and asymmetry parameters of ωQi = 49.1(3) Mrad/s, 77, η0= 0.10(2) and ωQ2 = 51.8(3) Mrad/s, η2 = 0.12(2), at room temperature, were identified in the temperature range from 250 to 530 K, and their (100) orientation in the lattice was determined. They are associated with electronic defects at the probe atoms.
